Building products distributor U.S. Lumber Group is acquiring Mid-State Lumber Corp., a regional wholesaler of building products based in Branchburg, N.J. The transaction will combine the two companies with an expanded offering of products and services for dealers across New Jersey, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York, and New England. Terms of the deal were not publicly disclosed.
“Mid-State Lumber is a terrific addition to U.S. Lumber,” Specialty Building Products president and CEO Jeff McLendon said in a news release. “It is the leading specialty products distributor in its markets, with a loyal following of customers built over multiple generations of family ownership.”
Mid-State Lumber will continue to operate under its brand name and with its current leadership group, which includes Ken Bernstein, David Bernstein, and Gary Bernstein.
“Since our father Bernie Bernstein founded Mid-State Lumber in 1972, we have built a business based on family values and the simple desire to bring great products to great customers adding value through great service and relationships,” the Bernstein family said in a prepared statement. “This partnership provides an opportunity to build on Mid-State’s impressive legacy and provides a foundation for the long-term success of our employees, customers, and vendors.”
U.S. Lumber is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Specialty Building Products and is headquartered in Atlanta. Specialty Building Products’ brands include U.S. Lumber, Alexandria Moulding, and Midwest Lumber. After the acquisition, U.S. Lumber now operates 10 branches on the east coast, serving 21 states.
